The INFJ Struggle: Why We Overcomplicate Everything (and How to Stop)

INFJs can be deep thinkers, idealists, and champions of all things that feel meaningful. But sometimes, our introspective nature and desire for understanding can lead us down a rabbit hole of complexity. We take a simple situation and turn it into a multi-layered labyrinth of “what-ifs” and hidden meanings. Sound familiar?

New Relationships for INFJs with Attachment Issues 

For INFJs, known for their deep empathy and idealism, new relationships can be thrilling yet terrifying. The excitement of connection battles with the fear of getting hurt, leaving us caught between wanting intimacy and pushing people away. 

If you’re an INFJ who struggles with attachment, this post is for you. Let’s navigate the rollercoaster of a new relationship while keeping those precious walls from completely shutting us down.

When Your Gut Knows: Attachment Wounds and the Intuitive Soul

Intuitive individuals often possess a heightened sense of awareness, picking up on subtle cues and emotions in themselves and others. But this sensitivity can be a double-edged sword when it comes to relationships. Our deep understanding of human dynamics may lead us to unconsciously reenact childhood attachment patterns, creating a cycle of hurt.

Disorganized Attachment for INFJ & INFP Types

I believe that more people have a disorganized attachment style than is realized by them or by others. The information on the internet typically describes disorganized as a combination of avoidant and anxious styles, typically coming from childhood abuse. A disorganized attachment style is also called fearful-avoidant or anxious-avoidant. In my experience, it doesn’t always come from abuse, and especially for INFx types, it seems to come from emotional abandonment from 1 or more likely, both, parents.

INFJs and the Attachment Wound

Anyway, I am back again, to talk about INFJs and relationships. I am fully convinced that no one gets through this life without some sort of trauma. The problem for INFJs is that we also pick up on others energy, which gives us “energetic trauma” also, typically from childhood.
